so i was twiddling around with my combee deck and i wanted to get some input to make it better.
i just started from hgss so i am not familiar with older cards.
anyways, here it is:


pokemon - 21
4 combee UD
2 vepiquen UD
4-3-4 jumpluff hgss
2-2 sunflora hgss

T/S/S -29
3 - pokeball
3 - prof oaks new theory
2 - poke collector
4- rare candy
3 - plus power
3 - defender
4 - moo moo milk
2 - interviewers
2 - flower shop lady
3 - good rod

energys - 10
2 rainbow
2 double colorless
8 grass

strat: start out with jumpluffs and bench up the combees. hit as much as you can with jumpluff till you get vespiquen set up. then glass canon with combee.
once they die, use good rod to get them back or flowershop lady, and repeat
^_^

i know there is expert belt and memory berry, but i dont know how to incorporate those or if i should even.

once rescue energy comes out, i will use it with the combees to give them each another hit. also, mew prime would be a good addition?

please help me make this deck better
thanks!
 
I honestly don't see what jumpluff is doing here.. just clogging up the deck mainly. I think you should focus on the speed aspect of either combee or jumpluff, but not both.
 
well, jumpluff is my starting pokemon/main. rack up quick damage while the benches are full, then after the jumpluffs die off, i glass canon with a lineup of combees, hence the name "death by combee"
 
Vespiqueen sf is a good pokemon too. It's pokebody is good if you are behind in prizes. Unknown P helps place damage counters.
 
Minimidget is right. You have two very different strategies that individually can be very fast; don't slow yourself down by trying to mix-n-match them. Run a 4-4 Vespiquen line with Rainbow Energy and/or Unown P to put a damage counter on a benched Vespiquen (Unown P might be preferred since you don't have to waste your energy attachment on a Pokémon you wont attack with). Attach energy and memory berry to your active Vespiquen and you can start swinging for heavy damage right away.

Do you want to play more offensively or defensively? If you run Vespiquen UD, that's more defensive, but if you run Vespiquen SF that'd be a more offensive strategy.

You might also want to consider Metapod HGSS. Blaziken and Charizard will rip through this deck, but Metapod can help you last a bit longer. Vespiquen UD would protect Metapod on the bench if you're going with a defensive strategy, or you can attach Bench Shield to Metapod and use Vespiquen SF for a more offensive strategy.
 
thank very much for the help.
im trying to get a hold on some memories berries. hopefully i can test it out soon
again. thanks everyone!
 
iv just made a combee deck. and its quite funny actually its

4 combee
4 vesiqueen (2 stormfront, 1 DP, 1 UD)
42 trainers
10 energy

not tested it yet i would build in a 2-2 line of hgss sunflora but i dont have any spare the rest are in my jumpluff deck
 
I'd definately add at least a 2-2 Landmin X.....Combee is so low on HP, that your glass cannon idea will probably come back to bite you. Landmin will enable you to survive a bit with Combee if you can't get it evolved for whatever reason.
